T0 all whom z't may cncern:

Be it known that I, FRANKLIN GOULD, of Patarson, in the county of Passaie and Staoe of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Gasoline-Burner; and I do hereby declgxre bhat the following is full, c1ear, and exacb description thereof, which Will ena ble others skilled in the art 130 make and use the same, reference being had 110 the aecompanying dmwings,forming parb 0f this -specifieation in which- Figure l represents a vertica1 transverse seetion 0f our improved burner. Fig. 2 is.a side view, parb1y in seetion, of the Same. Fig. 3 is a transverse secbion of a modified form of the same.

Sinni1ar letters of reference indicate corresponding' parts.

This invention relates t0 that dass 0f bumers intended t0 produce their own gas from sonne hydroca-rbon located in suit-able proximity thereto.

' I d0 not profess t0 have applied any prineip1e 130 burners which was not known in counection wibh them heretofore, but. rabher to have brought together int o a sing1e burner certnin features 0t construction, and plaeed them in such relatimi 110 each other as to form an improved whole 01 artic1e of manufacture. A in the drawings. represents the burner. lt consists of a tubular lower part; 01: shank, a, 2md 0f a flabtened broader upper part or burner proper, b b. The gas enters the shank from a suitable reservoir, and ascends into the flat upper part, which is slotted along its en vtire outer o1 upper edge, so that the flamme Will extend along auch entire edge.

011 the inner side of one of 'the two cheeks of the burner proper is seeured 01 formed a projecbing rib, d, which causes bhe gas so be spread and properly distribuoed 130 the entire width 0f the burner. immediately above the rib d, and heats the cheeks t0 such an extent that their heab will produce gas from the liquid in the reservoir.

The flame in the upper part of the' burner will furbhermore be so intense as o0 consume any produets of combustion thata may be formed in the same. Air is admitted to the burner through an aperture, e, below the rib.

The burner may, be straight, as in Fig; la:nd 2, or it may be curVed 0r angular, as indicated in Fig. 3, or of any 0ther suitabie f0rm. 'Ihe angnlar forrn is most convenient f0r the application of a screw, f, which closes the en-- trance t0 the burner proper, and by whichthe amount of gas consnmed may be regulated ab 'lhe fiame is produced
